Today's Everyday Fashion: The Leopard Belt






































This, ladies, is why I love belts so much. Amazing how such a small print can make such a big impact! And the belt actually cinches in the blazer and creates a new shape. Have you ever worn a belted blazer?

    This is a great idea. I have a blazer that the button came off. I will so have to try this out.

    Thanks.

    Thanks everyone!

    jjs, the belt stays perfectly in place thanks to my belting technique! :-) I recently did a video tutorial about it, check it out:

    I seriously never thought to belt a blazer! And I have a few that are a size too big- I'm going to try it!

    Cute! I'm wondering about the movement of the jacket with the belt. Did it stay in place or shift around?

    Ramnik, here's a link to an identical blazer from Gap. And my skin is naturally very olive, I'm Cherokee. :-)

    Hi J! I have the same Gap blazer and I was wondering how you clean it. The tag says wash and tumble dry low, but I'm worried that it's starting to look a little faded.

    Thanks!
